Shodan API

  • Improvement: changed the rate limit behavior to drop excess requests instead of blocking access. Previously, any requests beyond the 1 request/ second rate limit would cause all subsequent API requests to get blocked - even if they were within the 1 request/ second rate limit. The new behavior is more forgiving and only returns 429 status codes for requests that are above the 1 request/ second rate limit.
